Welcome to SJA!
 
St. Joseph Aquatics (SJA) is a competitive, community swim team with swimmers from 5-18 years of age.  We participate in both League and USA Swimming Meets.  We have 2 seasons, winter and summer.  Between winter and summer we have a 6 week stroke clinic.  

Swim-a-Thon Fundraiser
Posted 12/30/2011
 
WHEN:
Thursday, January 19, 2012
In place of normal practice times: 4-6 pm for Intermediate and Advanced swimmers   6-8 pm  for Beginner swimmers

WHY:
SJA’s annual Swim-A-Thon is our main fundraiser this year.  Each year a substantial portion of our budget comes from this fundraiser.  A successful fundraiser will keep our registration fees lower.  The kids love this fun, energetic event!!

HOW:
Swimmers earn money for the team by asking businesses, family, friends, neighbors, teachers, etc. to pledge money (ex.: $.05, .10, .25, .50, $1) for each length of the pool they swim.  Then during the Swim-A-Thon, swimmers have 2 hours to swim as many lengths of the pool as possible.  Beginner swimmers might swim 50 – 100 lengths.  Advanced swimmers can swim up to 200 lengths.  Everyone can use fins, paddles, kickboards, and snorkels during their swim.  Afterwards, pledges are collected and turned in to our team.

Pledge envelopes are in your folder at the pool.  If you did not get one let me know and I'll arrange for you to get one.  USA Swimming charges us $1 for each envelope we don't return so please keep track of your envelope.

Watch for more details coming soon……
